Memories Are Made Of This

Description

Memories Are Made Of This is a beautifully curated CD collection spanning the golden age of American popular music, drawing together some of the most beloved voices and instrumentalists of the 1950s. Dean Martin’s effortlessly charming title track sits alongside Nat King Cole’s silky ‘Mona Lisa’, Peggy Lee’s smouldering ‘Fever’, and the lush orchestral pop of Les Baxter’s ‘Unchained Melody’. The disc also showcases the guitar wizardry of Les Paul and Mary Ford on ‘Vaya Con Dios’ and the irresistible swing of Louis Prima and Keely Smith on ‘That Old Black Magic’. With sixteen tracks from Capitol, Dot, and related rosters of the era, this CD is an essential snapshot of the sound that defined post-war popular music in America…
